Product categories,
manufacturing departments
and the technologies, as used
Our company has 6 categories of products that we process within 5 distinct Manufacturing Departments. Our products are duly notified by the Institute for Food Bio – Resources within the Ministry of Agriculture in compliance with the Romanian legislation in force.
Tablets
made within the Tablets Department
Tablets stand for our company’s core business and as a weight they stand for 50 % of Dacia plant value sales; we are market leaders among Romanian manufacturers, in terms of food supplements under the form of tablets in Romania. We use our own compressing procedures, duly enforced according to various repeatedly conducted researches and studies; we also possess a strong expertise that our competition is lacking. It’s quite di cult to compress plants, since they have a specific low density, particularly since we do not use any chemical ingredients to enable the compressing process.
We stand out on the market and we are well renowned for the fact that we manage to put a higher active substance quantity in our tablets than our competition.
We are among the few that use compressing methods, most of our competition use encapsulating as their technique, since it’s much simpler. We have chosen to use this technology since we use as a compressing basis the natural cellulose, duly extracted from plants. The capsules used on the market are of animal origin, being made out of bone glue and the vegetal ones are highly expensive. Our vision is represented by not using any animal origin ingredients. The department has been built according to GMP standards, although the supplements industry in Romania does not require this particular standard, and yet this has been our option, namely to place our company at the highest possible standard. The equipment and machines that we use come from India, Romania, Italy and the Netherlands. The technologies we use as well as the equipment duly purchased have not been chosen randomly, instead the same have been especially chosen so as to be the most adequate and efficient in terms of developing a very strong compressing power.
Tinctures and gemoderivates
as made within the Tinctures Department
This particular category stands for 24% of our company business and it has undergone a constant increase within the recent years. We produce alcohol – based tinctures, alcohol free tinctures, tinctures made out of one single plant, tinctures made out of mixtures of plants and gemoderivates.
We possess high level expertise in the maceration of plants, we have developed our own methods both in terms of long – term maceration and in terms of fast maceration, we are leaders on this market segment in Romania and we are particularly well acknowledged for the quality of our products.
The majority of pharmacies preparing recipes that require tinctures make use of our own tinctures, and the main reason for that is the quantity of the active substance duly contained within. For instance, the propolis tincture we’ve got is by far the best on the market given the high concentration of polyphenols.
Teas
made within the Teas Department
Their weight is 12% of the overall business and they include two sub – categories, namely that of bulk teas and that of tea bags. We have quite a name on the market given the quality of our bulk teas and we provide our customers with two types of tea: tea made out of one single plant, or teas made out of mixtures of selected plants. Such selected mixtures may be therapeutic teas or large consumption teas. In terms of bulk teas we have two wrapping methods, one that is mechanized by means of a special device, and one that is manual, used for certain types of teas that require a more particular wrapping process and as related to which one shall check each manufactured tea box independently.
Syrups
as made within the Syrups Department
The category of syrups stands for 9% of the overall company business and it has undergone quite a very good increase in the recent three years; in this particular department we have managed to get some relevant players in this category, in terms of coughing syrups. We use our own preparation recipes and we are renowned for the category of therapeutic syrups since we use fructose which is better assimilated by the human body than sugar.
For our syrups preparation we use our own tinctures and extracts that we produce under the Tinctures Department. All relevant devices and installations come from Romania, the production flow and the preparing method being also duly based on our own solutions.
Juices, nectars and jam
as made in the Food Department
This is a relatively new category in our portfolio, standing for 5 % of our turnover, and it’s only 3 years that we’ve been producing this category of products. Developing such business has come naturally, as a link between food supplements and food products.
We stand out on the market since we use grape juice as sweetener, and thus our products are 100% natural, we use no sugar or other such chemical ingredients whatsoever. The pasteurization process is stage based and on a long term basis which fact enables us to provide our clients with a higher validity term than our competition.
